He finds a youkai sealed underground, and the beast introduces himself as Tora. Even though Ushio disagrees with freeing Tora, when a youkai outbreak occurs in the town, he is left with no choice.
Ushio and Tora anime perfectly capture the essence of the 90s shonen fights, and the action is simply amazing. Even from such an old manga, everything was well put together.

Somehow he survives but with disabilities. A few years later, a young thief named Dororo meets a person whose arms are blades and eyes without vision. He guides him to a new destiny, and could it be related to Lord Daigo?
Dororo is a classic remake from 1969s anime. The action scenes are done well, and the animation is on point, considering it a historical setting.

Banana Fish is an incredibly powerful anime. But it is not a show that gives you a happy ending; instead shows you the ugliest parts of humanity.

Inuyashiki: The Last Hero is a gem from MAPPA and one of the best short anime series out there (at least in my opinion). The action scenes are quite effortful, and MAPPA nailed the animation.
The ending definitely makes you scream, and in my opinion, it is the best ending after Code Geass. So, if you haven’t watched this underrated MAPPA anime yet, why don’t you give it a shot?

The finale was the most important out of all the seasons as it enclosed lots of details, and the story was phenomenal. The character development of Eren was out of the world, and the show has gotten even more intense.
Even after taking up the project keeping in mind all these things, MAPPA has done a splendid job. The animation is not less than Wit studio, and it nailed every aspect with minute details.

Itadori Yuji appears to be a normal student but has immense physical strength. During an incident at his school, he eats the finger of Sukuna to save a sorcerer’s life.
He doesn’t know that even though he gets the power to help people through the fingers, he might revive the King of Curses Sukuna if he eats all the twenty fingers. Who’ll stop him then?
Jujutsu Kaisen is definitely one of the top reasons for the MAPPA’s popularity in 2020/2021. The way it designed Gojo Satorou’s eyes, the scene with Itadori and Nobara is simply perfection.
In this anime, the best thing is definitely animation and action sequences. In that aspect, the animation studio had to do everything literally. So, if you haven’t watched this spectacular anime yet, do it right away.
